Camping is available to registered Scout units of the Boy Scouts of America. Visit our website for more information and to make a reservation. In the 1930's, the Hood Canal camping area was known as Camp Hahobas. Scouts attending Camp Hahobas were transported by the Sea Scout cruiser Occult. The cruiser departed from the Municipal dock for the 125-mile water journey to Camp Hahobas. This voyage re
quired some 10 to 11-hours sailing time. Other Scouts not being able to make the long journey met other Sea Scout ships at Hood Canal and were transported across the canal to the beach camp. Camp Hahobas had grown to nearly 400 acres by 1939 and by the end of 1940 was 520 acres. All camping was on the beach property, with hikes and daytime activities making use of the upper areas of the reservation. The year of 1949 marked the, ''On Top'' camping experience. A rough-cut road from the beach extended to the top of the hill. Camping was moved to the present area known as Camp Twana. Gravel and sand were hauled up from the beach to form a beach type appearance on Robbins Lake. Campsites were assigned by number, and the cutting of sallal for tentage set up was left to the individual troops. Also during 1949, travel to camp could be by auto, but required a long hike to reach the camping area. In 2016 the summer camp program came to an end, and the property was used by Scouts on weekends. In 2021 a number of activities were undertaken to provide weekend camping on a formal basis, with reservable campsites, shelters and a fire bowl. The property is now open for weekend camping by registered Scout Troops of the Pacific Harbors Council. Visit our website to inquire about reserving a site; http://hahobas.com
